We started at 8 and finished around 1:30. Overall, a very nice course. I, however, need a LOT of practice. Just about every one of my tee shots would slice hard to the right. I played baseball in little league. Gunna have to work on correcting that.
Try rotating yout hands on the shaft. Roll them a little to the right. The V of your left thumb and forefinger should be pointing at your right shoulder.

Well it took me a few minutes to catch up on this thread, so i didnt have much time to post.....

we had a storm hit saturday afternoon about 3pm and knocked out our power. So we decided it was time to hit the lake. Went to the lake to john's dad's friend's house. 10,000 sqft right on the lake, a pool, two hot tubs, and his own boat dock. A boat, two jet skis

anyways we road on the boat and drank, went to dinner, got back drank some more. Woke up Sunday morning, hit the water on the Jet skis and had a blast. Ive got some pictures of the grounds at his house.

Oh we worked on my truck friday night, ian was busy supervising and making sure someone didnt run off with my seats from my truck

Why do they call it golf?











Cause all the other four letter words were taken.

Golf is the most frustrating and at the same time, rewarding thing I have ever attempted. For several years, I really got into it and worked at it. If you get somewhat serious about the game, you are never satisfied with your ability, yet you feel satisfaction with what you have achieved.

Ha, that's so true. i talked with one of the guys about that. He'd been out of it for a few months so his game was way off. You have to practice at it to get better. but people today dont want to have to practice, that takes too much time. they want it now, instant gratification.

Eh... Could have been better. I was gonna go to the lake on Sunday but it rained. Weather was nice and cool though. Had a levy break close to home... Looks like my storage lot might actually go under water. Good thing the boat is home. I'm hoping that one more levy breaks... There is a "cult" town by my house called "New Town." Idiots built it in a Flood Plain.

Don't think I have seen the movie, but I can just imagine.
